    What business opportunity? You think a somebody's going to pay you more for hauling their critters simply because you're running team? What are bull haulers charging, since you know their running so cheap and are going broke?

    Last I checked they were charging $6-8 per mile for teams on Elogs. Mouth breathing paper log cattle haulers were topping out at $2 a loaded mile. Elog team is the way to go. It just makes sense, why can’t the cattle industry see it?

    Once the plant buyers own that cattle, those critters have to be at the meat plant kill floor within a certain number of hours. I only understand a little bit from the railroad side but not too much on the meat truck side other than that they are usually ungoverned and you best make way for them coming through.

    They're getting paid somewhere around 6 bucks a loaded mile, putting on about 4k miles a week, leads me to believe you're the one who doesn't underatand.
    I can't afford chrome right now, the cat's getting open heart surgery, something you don't understand because you just throw #### away if it's broke.

    Because I can follow and like the HOS?
    Because I don’t need to stop at every exit to nap?
    Truck driving is not for cupcakes.

    And yet you think somebody who wants to work harder and earn more for themselves is a cupcake and can't follow hos.
